Dr Ranil Perera, a Plumstead GP and executive member of NHS Greenwich Clinical Commissioning Group, said: “The health benefits of taking regular exercise are recognised by all GPs – and walking is one of the best, and cheapest, ways to do this.

“You don’t have to walk great distances to start to have an impact on your health.

“The key thing is to try and make it something you do regularly. You can walk alone, or with friends or family, and you can choose a distance and a pace that suits your lifestyle and your level of fitness.

“The Walking Month activities are a great way for people to get started.”
